Perhaps she did. But if he was primed to listen for a cough then it might not have mattered.

It was certainly a very sympathetic portrayal of the Ingrams. But surely the pair of them colluded, but the wife didn’t tell her husband that Tecwin was also involved in the coughing. That was my take.

It’s been great, with great performances all round. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Michael Sheen been shit in anything.

However there are videos of hospital staff on Facebook with their face masks on doing the Tik Tak (?) thing. Surely a misuse of PPE.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/07/uk-will-be-europes-worst-hit-by-coronavirus-study-predicts World-leading disease data analysts have projected that the UK will become the country worst hit by the coronavirus pandemic in Europe, accounting for more than 40% of total deaths across the continent. The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) in Seattle predicts 66,000 UK deaths from Covid-19 by August, with a peak of nearly 3,000 a day, based on a steep climb in daily deaths early in the outbreak.

Honor Blackman was a stunning actress, and by all accounts a decent person. For me the greatest Bond girl, if such a label exists, because she played such a feisty character brilliantly.

One helluva story this. Makes a complete joke of their press conference. Wasn’t he out on the streets shaking hands with the public a couple of weeks ago?

Suspect we’re not getting the full story about BoJo. He’s running the country but Raab hasn’t spoken to him since Saturday!

Aye aye. BoJo admitted to hospital.

All this money getting spunked on COVID-19 will make it a convenient scapegoat when Boris’s Brexit plans all go tits up.

And yet the Chief Scientific Advisor Patrick Vallance has said much the same thing. What’s wrong with a bit of positivity? We don’t appear to be matching the trend of Italy anymore.

Dominic Cummings now. They’ve done a great job of following their own advice!

I don’t believe he was innocent of ALL charges. I’m not sure his QC does either. -Alex Salmond's lawyer faces inquiry after 'sex pest' comment https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-52081790 Amateur hour all over the place on this case.

Decent site for monitoring numbers. The UK figures are shooting up: https://ncov2019.live/data

BoJo has it!

I’m sure it’s 41 down from 87.

Announced now. Half the number from yesterday!! Suspect that may be a blip but could be considered a “good day”.

Cleared

Perhaps but given that many elderly (and dare I say it senile) people vote Tory I’m not sure killing them off early is good for the party.

Kenny Rogers

Amazing announcement to close so many business and offer to pay 80% of wages. Must truly shaft BoJo’s Brexit plans.

It’s all quite something. I think I can understand the current UK “plan” if it is all about trying to minimise the effect this will have on the NHS. But I did find this to be a good read: https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca

Nice turnaround.

Warren out. Always looked like the best pick for me but I suspect various agendas and some sexism have got the better of her.
